So I got a old HP Compaq from by dads sister and it had 4 dead capacitors (idk how to recap a board) The specs were a Intel Pentium D 950, Integrated graphics, a dead lga 775 mobo and a insignia 500w psu that I destroyed because it killed my then new at the time am3+ HP mobo.  I plan to put a Phenom II x6 1100T Black Edition, AMD Radeon HD 8990, AMD branded 4gbx2 ram, AMD branded 500gb SSD, EVGA 300w-600w PSU and a Noctua NH-D15.  I want to fit it into this tired Compaq case.

Also What Mother board should I use in this case?

 

my question is what all parts do you got?

what is your budget?

and why Phenom II x6 1100T? when there faster for cheaper? like the AMD FX-8150 Eight-Core or did you all ready have the cpu?

is this a build for shits and giggles?

im guess with the hi cost of the other stuff is this is a balls out build idk what it cost.

 

well they make an am3 mb with ddr3

also i don't think the case is wide enough for the Noctua NH-D15

and your limited to mb size length

also i don't think an atx mb will fit only micro atx

sorry for not responding I've been at technical school.  This build is for shits and giggles and the cpu ram and gpu are in storage with my stuff from when I was in high school last year.  I sold the rest of my old parts except for a broken cooler master v8 that is bent beyond repair.

I will do anything I can to make this build happen I just need help is all.

 

I might sell the phenom and buy a FX-9590 for nostalgic 5ghz reasons. I have one in my main rig but I want one in this too.
